HOT!

Today was H-O-T hot. After a glorious morning of sealing and staining our deck, we took the kids to the San Marcos river. The city finally recognized what a hazard the old Rio Vista dam was and spent several million dollars to rennovate it. The dam is pretty much gone and was replaced by three sections of rapids. They put in a bunch of large rocks for sunbathing and made huge inmprovements to the banks. As you can see in the picture, it is THE local summer hotspot. Lots of free cold water. Greg loves it because on thursday nights it is a paddle spot for local kayakers. Playboaters gather to surf and do stunts in the three big waves. Greg has experience paddling in everything from the pacific ocean to Golden, CO and the Platte and he says the new waves in San Marcos are the best surfing waves he has ever paddled. Paddling is Greg's favorite past time and it is a huge blessing to have this so close. As pretty as the river is and as fun as the people-watching was, I never want to go there again on a crowded weekend. Not what I consider relaxing. Greg and the boys cooled off in the river after playing at the Children's Park.
Today I found about a hundred more features on my new camera. Here is a picture of Wyatt colorized so that the blue in the picture is accented. The camera lets you choose any color to accent and subdues all the other colors. Those are the actual color of Wyatt's eyes with the rest of the picture toned down. So Cool.
Yesterday a friend of mine begged me to let her watch the boys. Uh, okay! I am so fortunate to have so many friends and family that love spending time with my boys. Anyhow, she gave me a couple hours in the afternoon to run some errands and then her and her husband watched the boys in the evening while Greg and I went mtn. biking. We had such a great ride- it felt so good to be back on the bike again. Afterwards we came home and played cards with our friends and stayed up way too late. I need to get off this thing and get some sleep. This weekend has already been a lot of fun- we will see what more tomorrow brings!
